Now We Have ADS ???

[ScottA]

First timeouts...then a page full of commercial ads?

Or is it just me?​

I use Google Chrome and it's not like that on their home page. It's not on all websites, but I do notice it's now on Biblegateway.com. too.

What gives?​

Maybe they need the money from the ads to keep us going?
Have you noticed the new emoticons, there is that, lol! Thumbsup

New ownership.

Hi folks, just letting you all know that we have a new owner/admin of CyB.

You may have noticed advertisements appearing around the forum which may be new to some of us, particularly myself. However, our new owner/admin has specifically chosen a Christian ad agency that will filter out the type of things/ads that would be considered inappropriate as believers in Christ...

Blessings and Peace

I can understand that...but I do wish there was another way, it's rather annoying.

I mean it's a real deterrent.​

Perhaps they could make an option to pay membership or something and eliminate the ads for those who support the sight??

I find it quite disturbing as I have been known to have fits through flashing images.

I just posted this to the notice that Angelina posted:

Quenching the Spirit with Google Ads

Alternatively, maybe an option of dues or something that would turn the ads off for those who choose to support the site.

It costs money to produce a website such as this. I suppose this is where some of the money will come from. Hopefully the ads will be in good taste.

But they flash which can cause fits.

I noticed that.

I've had all I can stand for now. So I'm closing down early.

 

[Nancy]

I have yet to see an ad.

Go to the Home Page : )

Good taste is great...but any ads have a way of popping up and ruining a good thing. It makes the site a B Movie

I would happily trade less taste for less ad clutter.

I tried that.

If you find out the secret to having it ad-free--let us know!

 

[Nancy]

Go to the Home Page : )

Hmm, "FORUMS" is the home page to me...where does it say "home"?

That's what I meant, Lol. Sorry.

I meant to see the ads, not to be ad-free.

I hate to say this, but you may be stuck there, buddy. I'm guessing when the new owner bought the site and immediately installed ads it's because he figured ad revenue into the purchase beforehand.

You should also be seeing ad trailers at the bottom of your screen, unless you are in the act of posting. That's what I'm seeing anyway.

Wow. There's also ad boxes above where we post the actual replies in threads.

Got 'em all over the place, Lol.

Hmm, maybe I just have a really good adblocker Laughingoutloud
